If you want to be that fussy, you should also take in account files with
no extension at all.
Personally, I rename the file using a UUID with no extension, then
analyse the file

Listlast(filename, '.')
to get the extenstion
And...
ListDeleteAt(filename, listlen(filename, '.'), '.')
to get everything except the extension (including the dot)
It doesn't matter with either method whether there is 1 dot or 40. They will
work as long as there is at least 1 dot present.

^ = start of string
\w = Word
* probably isn't needed. This regex doesn't account for multiple "."
characters, but that's not to say that you can't make it. \w will probably
need changed to something else. I'm a hack at this, not an expert. :)
Trying to get there.
Regex cheat sheet:
http://www
this will work for 1 or more, but will NOT work for none! (it will
return an empty string)
you should do a listLen(file,".") gt 0 test to make sure before you start.

Because CFImage isn't supposed to be used as a file system manipulation?
Even functions like fileMove() doesn't even have one. Only one that I'm
aware that has a nameconflict attribute is CFFile action="upload." There's
a reason why we have functions like fileExists().

option.
It seems it really needs one. Any reason why it wouldn't have one?

Use the list functions, with the period as the delimiter
could there be more than one period? If so, you need to decide between
two options (if not, then either will work)
If you only want to remove the very last extension after the last period,
If you only want the content before the first on

This seems so simple, yet I couldn't figure out the answer even after
going through the list and strings functions in the docs for CF 8.
I want to return the characters in the name of a photo preceding the
period.
i.e.. If the photo is named "dog.jpg", I want to strip out ".jpg" from the
filename
Plenty of things to do here.
1.) Use regular expression.
2.) Treat the string as a list using the "." as a delimiter (e.g.: )
